A food pyramid is a very simple way of looking at a bigger picture called a food web. A food web is made up of all the different plants and animals that have an effect on one another by their feeding habbits. A group of food pyramids meshed together make a food web. What exactly a food web tries to proove is that if even one thing becomes extinct in a food web it will have a big impact on all the other animals that are a part of that food web as everything works step by step.

Why is food web more realistic than a food chain?

Food webs and food chains are different things, but a food web is a more accurate representation of most animals' diet. A food chain is simply a line of one of each type of animal, so it might have one producer, one primary consumer, one secondary consumer etc, whilst a web is more complex, and represents more animals. For example: Food Chain: Cabbage-->snail-->Thrush-->sparrowhawk Food Web: http://www.bigelow.org/edhab/fitting_algae.html (pictures and more info here)

Which is more realistic a food chain or a food web and why?

The answer depends on what you would like to know. If you want to know how diverse an ecosystem is, then you need to look at the food web. This will also show you the feeding relationships between all the species in the ecosystem. If however you are interested in how efficient energy transport is in a system, or would like to know how stable a system is likely to be, a food chain is going to give you a better idea. In short: Food Webs give you a bird's eye view of all the species in the system you are studying. Food Chains give you a single pathway that indicates how many trophic levels there are in a food web.
